HINDUISM

WORLD RELIGIONS FAMILY PRAYER SERIES

Welcome to the fifth (and last!) family prayer guides for world religions! Use this as a tool to help engage your kids in global intercession. Utilize components that work well for your family and don't worry about the rest! This shouldn't feel stressful, but an adventure into family prayer for the world!

This month we'll focus on Hinduism. While one billion Hindus live around the world, the majority can be found in three countries: India, Nepal, and Mauritius. Hindus worship a variety of gods. Hindus have an established caste system—four different groupings of people—and believe whatever caste someone is born into is based upon how well they lived in a past life. Different castes are considered better than others.

Family Devotion: Celebrating in Heaven

“There were so many people that no one could count them. They were from every nation, tribe, people, and language of the earth...They were shouting in a loud voice, ‘Salvation belongs to our God, who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb’” (Revelation 7:9-10 ICB).

Christmastime can be exciting. Presents wrapped under the tree. Decorating a gingerbread house. The joy of celebrating with loved ones that Jesus came to earth. Christmas gathers everyone together.

But today’s passage describes a day that will be greater than Christmas. This day will be better than a thousand Christmas days.

Revelation is the final book of the Bible. It is God’s last letter written to Christians. God wanted us to see how His plan will be completed. He wants us to know how spectacular that day will be. These verses give us a peek into what we can look forward to. One day people from every nation and language will worship Jesus.

As we have been learning, God wants everyone from every country to know and praise Him. It started with God’s promise to bless the nations through Abraham. Then we discovered how God is the great King over all the earth. Next we found out how God’s greatness will be praised by everyone everywhere.

Last month, we read how Jesus can light up the darkest places. Now we see that God’s plan ends with a celebration in heaven with Christians from around the globe.

We were created to know and love God. While we may enjoy doing many things, we are happiest when we know and worship God. This picture of everyone everywhere worshipping Jesus will be more exciting than Christmas!

Christians will be with Jesus in heaven forever! It will be a celebration that never ends!

Hinduism Video

As a family, watch this short video (about 3 minutes!) produced by Pioneers (missions agency) for kids to gain insight about what Hindus believe. 

Prayer Prompts

Carve out a few minutes–on the drive to school, during breakfast, before bed–and lift up Hindus using the following prayer prompts (and add to this list with your own prayers!):

1) Pray for Hindus to come to know the one true God and stop worshiping false gods.

2) Pray for Hindus to know the truth they are seeking can be found in the Bible.

3) Ask for people from all Hindu castes to become followers of Jesus.

  

Activities

Below are some activities to see how religious beliefs intersect with culture.

2) Grab dinner from an Indian restaurant.

3) Color the Nepalese flag using red, blue, and white. Then check online to see if your coloring matches! (Thanks Wycliffe Kids for this fun activity!)

4) Visit your local library and check out books from a country where Hindus live. Use this as a springboard to praise God for the diversity He's created around the world and pray for people who don't know Jesus yet. Consider using Wycliffe Kids Travel To Another Country printable worksheet to guide your research!

5) Since kids in Mauritius like to fly kites, let's make some mini kites that can still fly! Be sure to pray for children in Mauritius to hear who Jesus truly is before testing out your new creations outside.

Additional Resources
To keep digging deeper, here are resources to grow our understanding of different cultures where Hindus live. We want to openly talk with our kids about what others believe. For an overview of how to guide conservations about other religions with your kids, check out this article I wrote. As we increase our understanding, we can better pray for others.

1) Meet Amita: A digital lesson about a Hindu girl from India and how her beliefs differ from Christianity (elementary kids)

2) Sunlight on the Snow Leopard (Magic Treehouse series): Jack and Annie visit Nepal on a mission to find a ghost. (Ages 6 to 9)

3) Binny's Diwali: Binny finds the courage to tell her classmates about her favorite holiday, Diwali. This is a great book to discuss some differences between Hindus and Christians regarding religious beliefs. (Ages 4 to 8)

4) The Bridge Home: Four homeless children navigate life in India together. This beautifully written book allows readers to experience what life is like for kids who end up on the streets in age-appropriate ways. The storyline is engaging and based upon the stories of real street kids. I recommend reading together and discussing how the author defined Christian beliefs versus what the Bible teaches. (Ages 10 to 12)

As you go about this month, remember to pray for Hindus! Even though this is the last part in our World Religions Family Prayer series, swing by next month to learn how to pray for believers around the world. And be on the lookout for a new family prayer series launching in January 2023!

UNRELIGIOUS

WORLD RELIGIONS FAMILY PRAYER SERIES

Welcome to the fourth (of five!) family prayer guides for world religions! Use this as a tool to help engage your kids in global intercession. Utilize components that work well for your family and don't worry about the rest! This shouldn't feel stressful, but an adventure into family prayer for the world!

This month we'll focus on Unreligious. The majority of Unreligious live across Europe (Sweden, Estonia, France, Czech Republic, Netherlands, Germany, Belgium) and in countries with a government called communism. 

Only five countries (China, North Korea, Cuba, Vietnam, and Laos) out of the 193 in the world have a communist government! In a communist country, the government owns everything and tries to share all resources between its people. Many unreligious people don't believe God exists--the word for this belief is atheist. Around 450 million people are atheists.

Family Devotion: Jesus Lights the Way

“He is a light for the non-Jewish people to see. He will bring honor to your people, the Israelites” (Luke 2:32 ICB).

If you’ve ever been cave exploring, then you know how confusing darkness can be. Without a flashlight, you can’t see your next step. You can easily trip over rocks or uneven ground. Light is key to walk in a cave.

Simeon was an old man who was a prophet. God had promised Simeon he would see the Messiah before he died. When he finally got to hold baby Jesus, he said a prayer of thanks. Today’s passage is part of his prayer. He described Jesus as a light for non-Jewish people.

Simeon understood that Jesus would bring hope for all, not just the Israelites (who are also called Jews). Non-Jewish people are those who are not Abraham’s family. Most of us are non-Jewish.

Imagine darkness so great you can’t see your hand in front of your face. We are in that kind of darkness until we hear the gospel and meet Jesus. Jesus shines like a bright flashlight in a dark cave leading us back to God!

Do you remember how God promised to use Abraham’s family to bless the nations? When Jesus came to earth as a human, He was born into Abraham’s family. Jesus was God’s blessing for all peoples. Jesus’ coming would benefit both Abraham’s family and anyone from anywhere who makes Jesus their King.

Simeon worshipped God because Jesus would save everyone from their sins. Jesus would restore their broken relationships with God. We all are walking in darkness—lost in our sin and separated from God. When we see the light of Jesus (Isa. 9:2) and embrace the gospel, we can walk in the light.

The good news Simeon celebrated that day can be shared with people across the world: Jesus is the light of the world!

Unreligious Video

As a family, watch this short video (about 3 minutes!) produced by Pioneers (missions agency) for kids to gain insight about what the unreligious believe. 

Prayer Prompts

Carve out a few minutes–on the drive to school, during breakfast, before bed–and lift up the unreligious using the following prayer prompts (and add to this list with your own prayers!):

1) Pray for Unreligious to recognize science doesn't have to exclude faith in God.

2) Pray for Unreligious to experience God as they read the Bible.

3) Ask for atheists to have Christian friends who can lovingly share the gospel with them.

  

Activities

Below are some activities to see how beliefs intersect with culture. 

1) Swing by the Weave website to meet Li Biao from the Han people who live in northern China, make a lantern like Li Biao would bring to the Moon Festival, try Mooncakes, and learn two ways to pray for the Han.

2) Make Swedish pancakes for breakfast and pray for Swedes before you dive into the yummy meal!

3) Paint or color the Estonia flag--it's only three colors: blue, black, and white! 

Hang up the flag someone in your home to remind your family to pray for Estonians.

4) Visit your local library and check out books from a country where Unreligious people live. Use this as a springboard to praise God for the diversity He's created around the world and pray for people who don't know Jesus yet. Consider using Wycliffe Kids Travel To Another Country printable worksheet to guide your research!

5) Using simple supplies from around the house, make a windmill like you would see if you visited the Netherlands. Once finished, be sure to pray for the Dutch (people who live in the Netherlands).

6) Play a Vietnamese children's game: Banh Dua (Catch the Ball). To play, collect 10 chopsticks (unsharpened pencils could work!) and a tennis ball. Set the chopsticks (or pencils) on the floor in front of you. While sitting, toss the ball in the air. With the same hand you tossed the ball with, grab a chopstick, then catch the ball with that same hand! Keep playing until you have grabbed all the chopsticks (pencils).

BUDDHISM

WORLD RELIGIONS FAMILY PRAYER SERIES

Welcome to the third (of five!) family prayer guides for world religions! Use this as a tool to help engage your kids in global intercession. Utilize components that work well for your family and don't worry about the rest! This shouldn't feel stressful, but an adventure into family prayer for the world!

This month we'll focus on Buddhism. The majority of Buddhists live in South and East Asia (in countries like Thailand, Sri Lanka, China, and Japan). There are over 500 million Buddhists around the globe. While Buddha is a key figure in Buddhism, he is not considered a god by followers.

Family Devotion: God's Greatness

“From the east to the west I will be honored among the nations. Everywhere they will bring incense and clean offerings to me. I will be honored among the nations,’ says the Lord of heaven’s armies” (Malachi 1:11 ICB).

From the beginning of the Bible, God’s plan has always involved the nations knowing and
worshipping him. Later we will see that God’s plan ends this way as well. Today we get to see the beauty of God’s plan.

In the Old Testament, the Israelites would worship God through two ways—incense and offerings. When incense is burned it makes a good smell. Offerings are animals or grain given to God. Before Jesus came, these acts of worship could be done in one place—the temple in Jerusalem (Deut. 12). 

But today’s verse shows that before Jesus came to earth from heaven, God had a plan. He planned for a day when people from across the world would worship Him in every place. God didn’t want worship to be available to only one people in one city. He wanted everyone in every city around the globe to know and praise Him. Since the coming of Jesus, worship is no longer in one place (John 4:21-24).

Did you notice something repeated twice in this verse? When something is repeated in a verse, we want to pay attention! Go back and re-read today’s verse to find it! That’s right: God’s name will be great among the nations! Our God is so great that everyone must know and praise Him!

But what does “God is great” mean? It means there is nothing or no one more important, stronger, or better than Him. He is the only One worth following. Only God can make our hearts happy—not being the best soccer player, getting the best grades, or having the most friends.

What we—and every person in the world—most need is Jesus. He is the best.

Prayer Prompts

Carve out a few minutes–on the drive to school, during breakfast, before bed–and lift up Buddhists using the following prayer prompts (and add to this list with your own prayers!):

1) Pray for Buddhists to encounter a Christian who can share the gospel with them.
2) Pray for Buddhists to come to know God as their Creator.
3) God often works through healing in the Buddhist world to draw people to Himself. Pray for men, women, and children to encounter Jesus the healer.

  

Activities

1) Swing by the Weave website to meet Yeshey from Bhutan who lives in the snowy mountains, make your own mini bow and arrows to participate in a favorite Bhutan hobby, try Ema Datshi (Chili Cheese Stew), and learn two ways to pray for the Bhutanese.

2) Make fried rice using Wycliffe's Kids recipe and meet a couple missionary kids who live in Thailand.

3) Color the Sri Lankan flag using yellow, green, orange, and red. Then check online to see if your coloring matches the Sri Lankan flag! (Thanks Wycliffe Kids for this fun activity!)

4) Visit your local library and check out books from a country where Buddhism is practiced. Use this as a springboard to praise God for the diversity He's created around the world and pray for people who don't know Jesus yet. Consider using Wycliffe Kids Travel To Another Country printable worksheet to guide your research!

5) Make a Japanese Paper Fan! Visit the Crafty Classroom for the simple instructions to color and paint a paper fan! The first link includes three templates to choose from while the second link includes the instructions for the project.

6) Play Tee-Wong-Law (tire racing), a popular game for Thai kids. But instead of using a bicycle wheel, you could substitute a hula hoop.

1) The Floating Field: How a Group of Thai Boys Built Their Own Soccer Field: Desiring to have a place to play soccer, some Thai boys figure out a way to build a soccer field—one that floats! My eight-year-old really enjoyed this book and read it three times! (Ages 7 to 11)

2) The Yeti & the Jolly Lama: An old Tibetan tale told in a modern way. With a touch more religious themes, some debriefing may be necessary, but these are good conversations to have with our kids! (Ages 4 to 8)

3) Soul Lanterns: A Japanese girl explores the lasting impacts of the bombing of Hiroshima in her community. This book was translated from Japanese into English and allows readers to better understand how drastically the lives of Japanese people were forever changed in an instant. I would recommend reading this together so you can guide discussions as needed. (Ages 10 and up)

4) Meet Tenzen: A digital lesson about a Buddhist boy and how his beliefs differ from Christianity (elementary kids)

As you go about this month, remember to pray for Buddhists! Be sure to come back next month when we learn about the Unreligious.

ISLAM

WORLD RELIGIONS FAMILY PRAYER SERIES

Welcome to the second (of five!) family prayer guides for world religions! Use this as a tool to help engage your kids in global intercession. Utilize components that work well for your family and don't worry about the rest! This shouldn't feel stressful, but an adventure into family prayer for the world!

This month (July) we'll focus on Islam. Those who follow Islam are called Muslims. While Muslims live around the world, the majority live in the Middle East, Southeast Asia, and North and Central Africa. According to Joshua Project, there are over two billion Muslims worldwide! Islam is the second biggest religion in the world!

Family Devotion: King Over All the World

“Tell the nations, ‘The Lord is king’...He will judge the people fairly” (Psalm 96:10 ICB).

Wearing a purple robe. A golden crown set on his head. A scepter—a long golden staff—in his hand. This was a picture of a strong king in Bible times. 

In today’s Bible verse, God is described as the mighty king. He reigns over all the earth. God is such a great king that everyone should praise Him by singing songs. They should tell the world about Him!

In 1 Samuel 8, the Israelites asked for an earthly king like all their neighbors had. The problem was God was already their king. Their neighbors served fake
gods. God warned His children. What they were asking for would not make their hearts happy. By asking for an earthly king, the Israelites were rejecting God as their King. They wanted to do things their own way.

Psalm 96:10 tells us two things about God. Did you catch them? One, God is the King over all the earth. No else is the true King who rules the world but God.

Two, God will judge everyone fairly. He is never selfish. A good king makes wise decisions for His people, which is good for us. If we don’t see God as our good King, we may act like the Israelites. We won’t tell others about our King who makes wise choices for His people.

We can respond to God’s goodness by helping others know Him. Worshipping God is not only for the Israelites or those who attend church. Everyone—no matter how young or old—is invited to praise the King of heaven and earth! Our hearts will be happiest when we live under our mighty King.

When we accept God as our good King, we can’t help but tell others that Jesus is for everyone.

Islam Video

As a family, watch this short video (under 4 minutes!) produced by Pioneers (missions agency) for kids to gain insight about what Muslims believe. 

Prayer Prompts

Carve out a few minutes–on the drive to summer camp, during breakfast, before bed–and lift up Muslims using the following prayer prompts (and add to this list with your own prayers!):

1) Pray for Muslims to recognize Jesus is more than a prophet.

2) Pray for Muslim women to have access to the gospel as some have less freedom to travel outside their home.

3) Pray for Muslims who become Christians to remain faithful to Jesus and find ways to share their faith with their family, friends, and community.

Activities

Below are some activities to see how religious beliefs intersect with culture. 

1) Swing by the Weave website to meet Mahmoud from the Riffi Berber people who live in the mountains of the African country of Morocco, create your own designer bread like many Riffians, and learn two ways to pray for the Riffi Berbers.

2) Visit your local library and check out books from a country where Islam is practiced. Use this as a springboard to praise God for the diversity He's created around the world and pray for people who don't know Jesus yet. Consider using Wycliffe Kids Travel To Another Country printable worksheet to guide your research!

3) Grab dinner from a Middle Eastern restaurant.

4) Play Dinifri, a popular Moroccan kids game. Instead of having two groups of five, you can adapt it to have one family member defending while the others "attack." This game could easily be set-up in a driveway.

5) Create your own Moroccan Cactus Rock Garden! Once you finish, use the garden as a reminder to pray for Moroccans and other Muslims throughout the month.

TRIBAL ANIMISM

WORLD RELIGION FAMILY PRAYER SERIES

Welcome to the first (of five!) family prayer guides for world religions! Use this as a tool to help engage your kids in global intercession. Utilize components that work well for your family and don't worry about the rest! This shouldn't feel stressful, but an adventure into family prayer for the world!

This month we'll focus on tribal animism. The majority of tribal animists live on the continent of Africa, but they can also be found in Southeast Asia (Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Philippines), East Asia (China), and South America (Brazil). According to Joshua Project, there are 90 million tribal people worldwide–that's the size of everyone who lives in California, Texas, and Florida combined! 

Sometimes animism can become combined with other religions such as Buddhism, Hinduism, Christianity, and Islam. The mixing of beliefs would be like adding sprinkles to chocolate chip cookie dough. Once the cookie is baked, you can see the sprinkles, but they have become a part of the cookie. While some animists may also have beliefs from another world religion, one can see elements of animism sprinkled in how they live.

Family Devotion: Blessing the Nations

“I will bless those who bless you. I will place a curse on those who harm you. And all the people on earth will be blessed through you” (Genesis 12:3 ICB).

Have you ever wondered how important God is? Is God important enough for your friends at school to know Him? Is He important enough for kids in Hawaii to know him? How about tribal kids living on the other side of the globe?

In Genesis 12, God answers this question about how important He is. God asks Abraham— who was then called Abram—to leave everything and everyone he knows to follow Him. But get this: Abraham didn’t know much about God! He may have even worshipped the same false gods his friends worshipped. But the promise God gives Abraham—to make his family huge and bless others through them—convinces him to go.

Abraham will learn more about this God who called him to go far away. But God revealed something about His greatness in how He spoke to Abraham. God said “all the families of the earth will be blessed” because of Abraham’s family. God didn’t handpick Abraham because he was a faithful follower of God. But God had a plan. Did you catch it? Go back and re-read Genesis 12:3 to see if you can spot it. God wants people from all across the world to be blessed. God had decided Abraham would be the starting point of His blessing!

Before Abraham, the flood wiped out a disobedient world (Gen. 6-9). People thought they could become greater than their Creator (Gen. 11). Our world needed a God who could fix the broken world we had caused. Our hearts focused on what we wanted instead of what was right. When we do what we want instead of what is right, the whole world isn’t how God wanted it to be. God invited Abraham to become a follower of Him. He promised to bless not only Abraham, but everyone who joins Abraham in seeking God. This was the beginning of God’s plan to bless the nations.

Tribal Animism Video

As a family, watch this short video (under 4 minutes!) produced by Pioneers (missions agency) for kids to gain insight about tribal animism. 

Prayer Prompts

Carve out a few minutes–on the drive to school, during breakfast, before bed–and lift up tribal animists using the following prayer prompts (and add to this list with your own prayers!):

1) Pray for tribal animists to recognize that Jesus is more powerful than evil spirits.

2) Pray for the Bible to be translated into tribal languages so they can learn about Jesus.

3) Pray for Christians who are geographically close to take the gospel to a nearby tribal people.

Activities

Below are some activities to see how religious beliefs intersect with culture. 

1) Swing by the Weave website to meet Watching Eyes from the Yanomamo people who live in South American rainforests, receive instructions about setting up a tent in your backyard (or living room!) to experience what it would be like to live in one-room hut like Watching Eyes, get a recipe for oven baked plantains, and learn two ways to pray for the Yanomamo.

2) Design your own Kente cloth, a traditional fabric worn by many throughout Ghana, using paper. (Thanks to Wycliffe Kids for this fun activity!) 

3) Make your own Maasai paper necklace and choose colors based upon what they mean in the Maasai culture! (Thanks again to Wycliffe Kids for this craft!)

4) Visit your local library and check out books from a country where animism is practiced. Use this as a springboard to praise God for the diversity He's created around the world and pray for people who don't know Jesus yet. Consider using Wycliffe Kids Travel To Another Country printable worksheet to guide your research!

5) Play Pilolo, a popular game kids in Ghana enjoy! Kids compete to be the first to find a hidden object. You can easily adapt this for your family size. Visit Compassion Explorer's website for the simple instructions (it's the third one listed, so scroll down until you see it!)

Additional Resources

To keep digging deeper, here are resources to grow our understanding of different cultures where animism is practiced. We want to openly talk with our kids about what others believe.

Meet Bakari: A digital lesson about a tribal boy and how his tribal beliefs differ from Christianity. (elementary kids)

For You Are a Kenyan Child: Experience a day in a Kenyan countryside village with a boy caring for his family's cows, but gets distracted with other things. A fun read with beautiful artwork. (Ages 3 to 8)

In Fear of the Spear: This Imagination Station book gives kids a glimpse into a South American tribe touched by the gospel. This book touches on the deaths of missionaries to this tribe, but doesn't dwell on it. Debriefing how the tribal people are referred to at different points may be helpful to cultivate respect for those who are different from us.

As you go about this month, keep praying for tribal animists! Be sure to come back next month to learn about Islam.

WORLD RELIGIONS FAMILY PRAYER SERIES

Figuring out how to incorporate family prayer for the nations into our lives can be difficult. Finding resources to guide our kids through focused prayer can take time. And trying to add yet another item to our to-do list can feel like too much. Even though we know God desires all people to know Him (Isa. 49:6), it can be a challenge to regularly intercede for the world with our kids. 

Since prayer is a key way to participate in God's global plan and time is limited, let me take the work out of the family world prayer equation and replace it with simple, quick ways to meaningfully pray for people around the globe. 

Beginning in June, I'll walk through five world religions from a Christian lens. We'll cover: Tribal Animism, Buddhism, Islam, Hinduism, and Unreligious. At the beginning of each month, I'll post a devotion, short video, prayer prompts, resources, and activities to guide your family through learning about and interceding for a different world religion. 

Whether you're looking for something short and sweet or eager to explore more deeply, this series is for you! You can pick what components fit into your family's rhythm. But more importantly, you can join in what God is doing across the earth through prayer as a family!

Ready to learn about and pray for the nations? Swing by at the beginning of each month to embark on the adventure!
